The Flames are still very much a 'mushy middle' roster, with too many unmoveable contracts and no impact players under 25 coming to help (thanks, Tre). Promoting Love to an associate position under a lame duck veteran coach for a couple of years, with the intention to promote him to HC once he's got some NHL cred, wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. This team is going nowhere under any coaching regime until some of the current chaff is (hopefully) leveraged to re-stock the cupboards anyway.
